In The Psychotherapy of Personality Disorders, Lisa J. Cohen introduces Emergent Systems Theory, an integrative model of the many different types of psychotherapy, with an emphasis on personality pathology. This model proposes five general levels of the mind/brain, each of which dates back to a different point in human evolutionary history and has its own distinct psychological functions and psychopathology. This book argues that formulating patients’ psychological difficulties in terms of the levels involved permits systematic selection of the most appropriate treatments and can also enhance communication across the mental health field.

This volume introduces Emergent System Theory, an innovative and timely meta-integration of the complex field of psychotherapy. Focusing on personality disorders and drawing on her expertise as a master teacher and clinician, Lisa J. Cohen synthesizes vast neurocognitive, developmental, psychotherapeutic, and family systems literatures – all through an evolutionary lens - in a way that will aid clinicians at any level of experience in considerably deepening their understanding of personality pathology and why different psychotherapies work the way they do. Psychotherapists from all orientations will appreciate her comprehensive conceptual model, which also provides a much-needed foundation for us to talk to each other about how best to help our patients.
